If you have never heard of #supersecondsfestival I made a comic explaining it! Check out all the makers here too: www.supersecondsfestival.co.uk
A comic about super seconds festival. A purple character explains: Hi! Do you like a bargain? (Nodding) Saving on waste? (Mmm hmm!) then let me tell you about SUPER SECONDS FESTIVAL!
The character excitedly peeks around d a laptop: 250 shops, all in one big online sale offering discounts on end of line, sample and seconds stock. So you can grab a deal (they hold up a pretty vase!) and support indie makers (they are being held up by cool makers) March 7th-8th (they pose chaotically with two shopping bags).
